6.3 Cleaning and Replacing the Protective Pocket
Section 6.3 of the Manual has a ‘Cleaning and Replacing the Protective Pocket’ process (Page 23) for the protective pocket and is required to be conducted regularly to maintain the luminometer at optimal performance and accuracy.
WARNING: Always turn off the luminometer before removing the protective pocket
As per the manual:
The luminometer is designed with a special protective pocket, which can be removed for cleaning or replacement if required. To remove the protective pocket, open the luminometer’s lid, tightly grasp the finger grip of the pocket, gently pull the pocket upwards, and remove it from the luminometer.
CAUTION: Great care should be taken when removing the pocket not to damage it or the surrounding casework. Do not use excessive force. Never use a tool to pry out the pocket.
Carefully clean the interior of the pocket using water or a very mild detergent solution, ensuring that the pocket is completely dry and clean before putting it back into the luminometer.
WARNING: Do not use solvents or other strong chemicals as these will degrade the clear optical section of the pocket and affect the performance of the luminometer..
To replace the pocket, carefully insert it into the luminometer, ensuring that it is correctly orientated, and then push it fully down until it clicks into position.
WARNING: Do not use excessive force when replacing the pocket. If the pocket jams during insertion, remove it fully, check for obstructions or damage, and then try again.
Finally ensure that the black rubber RS232 cover is tucked in under the lip and that the lid can be fully closed. (see section 5.6).
